Sister Rescue Plan

"Don't lie to me, no fox has ears that long!"

"Foxes' ears are naturally this long!"

"Nonsense. Foxes have pointy ears!"

Along the way, Yae Sakura and Izayoi Mirai argued endlessly about the ears, neither able to convince the other, and decided to catch a fox to compare them later when they had time.

As she entered the village, Izayoi Mirai clearly sensed that the villagers' attitudes were completely different from those in the previous Stigmata Space. The villagers greeted Yae Sakura warmly, and Izayoi Mirai also received a lot of welcome.

"Sakura, you're back pretty early this time."

"There are very few monsters left on the mountain. I searched for a long time but couldn't find any, so I came back first."

"If you have nothing else, you should get some rest. And who is this gentleman?"

"He was a wandering samurai who stayed in our village for two days."

As Izayoi watched the uncles and aunties greeting Yae Sakura along the way, she echoed them with a few words, but her heart sank uncontrollably. Hisoko's move was much more ruthless than before.

After finishing my writing yesterday, I caught up on Ordinal Scale. After watching it, I went back to my dorm to sleep around 7 PM. Dual-wielding is so cool, and Asuna is so adorable and has such a strong wife vibe! Especially when she wears her hair up, she looks so beautiful.

I wish Kawahara could change his green-man hobby; it's disgusting just thinking about it. Let's not even talk about Sword Art Online Season 1; I was even keeping Underworld in the pipeline. Now I have no intention of watching it at all.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Please Use Cotton Swabs to Pet Cats

Upon arriving at the shrine, the layout of the houses was no different from before, but the main shrine was nowhere to be seen. Yae Sakura had prepared an empty house for Izayoi Mirai.

"You can stay here."

"Thank you." Izayoi Mirai nodded. "If you're going to fight those monsters, please call me along. Consider it payment for food and lodging; I'd feel bad if I ate and drank for free."

"I will." Yae Sakura clenched her fist. "Then I'll show you what real fox ears are like!"

"Meow~"

A soft meow came from outside the window, and a white figure darted in. It was an adorable cat that looked only five or six months old.

"Is this your pet?"

“No.” Yae Sakura shook her head. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen this cat.”

The two of them were sitting on the tatami mat. The white cat jumped onto Izayoi Mirai's crossed legs and rubbed against him vigorously.

Izayoi gently stroked the white cat, from its head to its back, from its mouth to its neck. The white cat felt very comfortable being petted, its eyes were squinted, and it made a "purring" sound in its throat.

Yae Sakura stared at the cat, her ears twitching, her face full of envy; she really wanted to pet the cat too.

Yosuke gave her half of the cat, and Yae Sakura reached out and gently stroked it.

"So thin."

It didn't feel as good as I imagined; it felt like bone all over.

“That’s normal, it’s a white cat, not an orange tabby,” said Mirai Izayoi. “But it doesn’t look like an adult yet; I wonder if it’s been weaned.”

"Meow!"

The white cat looked up and meowed in dissatisfaction. It seemed angry and didn't want Yoyo Mirai to continue petting it, but the skillful technique was indeed very comfortable, making it somewhat reluctant to let go.

I'll let him masturbate for a little while longer!

Thinking this, the white cat held its head high and accepted the double massage from Yosuke Mirai and Yae Sakura.

At noon, Yae Sakura went to cook, leaving only Izayoi Mirai and the white cat in the room. The white cat seemed to remember something, and stood up on its hind legs. It kept gesturing with its front paws and meowing.

This cat is interesting.

Izayoi Mirai stared at the white cat, which seemed to have come to life. She fell into thought. This world didn't have gods or monsters; it was either a technological effect or the influence of Honkai. But Izayoi Mirai didn't sense any Honkai energy fluctuations from this white cat.

In other words, this is an ordinary cat.

Now, what exactly is the situation with this ordinary cat? Izayoi Mirai looked at it and suddenly thought of something.

Theresa, whom he had completely forgotten.

I remember Theresa turning into a cat in the story as well.

However, further verification is still needed. Izayoi Mirai asked, "Is it because spring has arrived that you're in heat?"

He shrugged: "It's no use you coming to me. I'm not a cat. How about I find you a cotton swab to make do?"

"Meow meow meow!"

The white cat was taken aback at first, then showed a very obvious expression of disgust. Its paws popped out from under its paws and frantically tore at the hem of Yoyo Mirai's pants.

"Stop! Even if you pull down my pants, you can't fit them in! There's no future for us."

Izayoi Mirai grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, lifted it up, and placed it on the tatami mat. The white cat realized the huge difference in strength, and after several changes in its eyes, decided to ignore this pervert. It turned its body around and faced Izayoi Mirai with its rear end.

"You know what, your pose is actually quite alluring."

A sound that made the white cat feel uneasy came, and she felt her tail being grabbed and then lifted upwards.

"Meow!!!"

The white cat pulled its tail back, turned around and pounced, determined to take this pervert down with it.

Then it was suppressed.

"Don't be angry, I was just joking to lighten the mood."

Facing the white cat glaring at him with hatred, Izayoi Mirai clasped her hands together in apology, "Then the formal verification begins. Are you Theresa? If so, please shake your head."

The white cat nodded solemnly, then suddenly froze, as if something was wrong.

It pondered for a long time, then finally remembered that Izayoi Mirai had said to shake its head, so it shook its head frantically.

“Hmm.” Izayoi Mirai nodded. “With such an impressive IQ and a size the size of a kitten, it seems you really are Theresa.”

Theresa flashed her claws at him.

Once I turn back, I'll definitely use Judas to smash your dog's head in!

Despite meowing incessantly, Izayoi Mirai surprisingly understood Theresa's meaning and began to consider her own escape route:

Anyway, she'll definitely get revenge on me later. Should I take advantage of Theresa being a cat now and bully her a few more times?

Izayoi Mirai hesitated for a moment. She still didn't act; what if they found a reason to deduct his salary later?

Yae Sakura has arrived; lunch is ready.

She handed a rice ball the size of a human head to Youxiao Mirai, and then took out a small plate with several small rice balls on it.

This was specially prepared for Theresa; she clearly didn't know that cats are carnivores.

But the next second, he saw Theresa eating rice balls.

Indeed, what's a little restraint from human instinct? It's just a fear of not getting enough protein.

Yae Sakura watched Theresa eat rice balls and felt happy. She was sitting next to Izayoi Mirai, each holding a rice ball the same size as a human head.

"Miss Shrine Maiden's cooking is excellent; even her rice balls are delicious."

"Then please keep up the good work this afternoon, Mr. Samurai." Yae Sakura nibbled on her rice ball. "We also need to patrol the mountains this afternoon to clear out the monsters that are popping up. The villagers also need to hunt and gather herbs. If they encounter these monsters, it's a dead end."

Upon hearing the words "herb gathering," Yushou Mirai shuddered. The tingling sensation throughout her body was still fresh in her memory. She thought of Yae Sakura's bizarre treatment method. Could it be that in this space, the villagers were gathering herbs and Yae Sakura was brewing medicine?

Izayoi Mirai felt she had figured out why the people in the previous village were afraid of Yae Sakura.

"Roar!!!"

A violent roar came from very close by, mixed with panic and desperate cries for help.

Yae Sakura immediately stood up, finished her rice ball in a few bites, picked up her sword and rushed towards the direction from which the roar came, with Izayoi Mirai following behind.

"What's going on? Why are monsters breaking into the village?"

Yae Sakura clearly remembered that she hadn't encountered many Honkai Beasts while patrolling the mountain these past few days, so why did they suddenly appear in the village?

Going against the flow of people, the two quickly spotted the Honkai Beasts wreaking havoc in the crowd.

The already massive bear's body swelled even more, its surface covered in dark purple crystals, and long tentacles lashed out from behind it, whipping the ground back and forth like lashes.

Faced with the ferocious bear monster, Yae Sakura drew her sword.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Do You Like Catgirls?

The gleaming blade flashed through the air, slicing through it with a sharp whistling sound, and a burst of blood-red light bloomed.

The tentacles are the first thing to be severed. Girls always have a strong aversion to things that are long, soft, slippery, and possibly covered in mucus.

Fresh blood gushed out from the cut like a fountain.

"Roar!!!"

The bear-like monster roared and immediately abandoned its attack on the villagers, redirecting its hatred towards Yae Sakura, but to no avail; its movements were far too clumsy for Yae Sakura.

Two more dazzling flashes of light appeared, and two long, narrow wounds appeared on the bear monster's back. Thick fat was cut open, and blood stained its brown fur.

Corrupted by Honkai energy, the bear monster had no option to escape. It lunged at Yae Sakura with difficulty, but couldn't even touch a hair on her head. Yae Sakura nimbly dodged its attacks, and her spirit sword, Sakura Fubuki, kept leaving wounds on the bear monster's body, staining its bloated body with blood.

The outcome of this battle was already decided. Yoshiki clearly understood this: these ordinary Honkai Beasts, unless they were in large groups, posed no threat to Yae Sakura.

So he didn't intervene, but instead focused on evacuating the crowd to prevent the villagers from being killed in the aftermath. The bear monster destroyed many houses, burying some people who didn't have time to escape under them.

Izayoi Mirai scooped up the log with one hand, lifted the man who was pinned underneath, and led him to another house amidst his thanks.

At first, Yu Xiao was a little confused. In the last Stigmata Space, he had killed them all and achieved a happy ending. Now he was saving people again. Was something wrong?

"Big brother, thank you for saving me."

A five- or six-year-old girl looked up at Izayoi Mirai with starry eyes. Just moments before, Izayoi Mirai had caught half of a flying roof, preventing the little girl from being crushed.

"You're welcome. You should leave now; it's dangerous here."
